[[Image:DW G1Hook.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom!"]]
The snob of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], '''Hook''' considers himself an artist. He looks upon the rest of the Decepticons almost as peasants, beneath him to a degree. Though full of himself, Hook is a master craftsman, having truly earned his insufferable ego. His high standards that he holds himself and others to means he takes extra care to ensure even the most simple of jobs is completed to the nth degree of perfection. Although [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] acknowledges Hook's incredible skill, he gets impatient with the time it takes Hook to finish his work. Hook cannot understand the frustration at the delays this causes, he just sees it as doing the job right.

Hook condescends to join his fellow Constructicons in forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. It is only fitting that he should form the head and shoulders.

[[Image:HookG1.jpg|left|150px|thumb|I am the very model of a modern major general.]]
Hook, who was evil, helped build Megatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Later, Megatron used the [[Robo-Smasher]] to make Hook, who was good, evil.  {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} Finally, Megatron built Hook, who, with his fellow [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], would attempt to deal with [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]], only to be thwarted by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] would then reveal the Constructicons' ability to combine by forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who was blasted by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] into lava. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

[[Image:CityofSteel DisassemblingPrime.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Did you drop this? There are laws against littering."]]
Hook and the other Constructicons would later appear in [[New York City]], bringing down, then re-erecting the [[Empire State Building]] as a Cybertronian fortress. In the time between, he dismantled Optimus Prime, so it was a busy day for him. {{storylink|City of Steel}} He later helped build the [[Transfixatron]]. Before a second Constructicon device could be used to destroy the powerless Autobots that the Transfixatron had stuck in [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]], they were rescued, and Hook and the other Constructicons were defeated by their own Transfixatron. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

[[Image:TheCore HookfixesJazz.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Heh, heh, heh!  I'm going for the funny bone, Dad!" "Uh oh.  He's waking up.  Better get him back to the subway station,"]]
The Constructicons then built a giant drill to tap into [[Earth]]'s core, although Hook had to reprimand [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] for almost messing it up. During the mission, however, the Constructicons got [[dominator disc]]s snuck onto them by a group of Autobots, with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] blasting one onto Hook with his shoulder cannon. When the Constructicons next formed Devastator, the Autobots activated the discs, taking control of the combiner and forcing him to defeat the other Decepticons. They then took Devastator back to [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]], where Hook separated from him to help repair [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] while simultaneously bragging about his skill. Eventually, Megatron nullified the dominator discs' effects, bringing the Constructicons back into Decepticon control just in time to stop their own out-of-control drill from destroying the planet. {{storylink|The Core}}

[[Image:Microbots HookMegatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Remember kids, only go to the perfectionist when you want a boob job done.  Don't settle for [[Ratchet (SG)|anyone less]].]]
Hook, led by [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]], convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple]] that they wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a [[solar tower]]. Megatron was not at all happy to hear about this, but the Constructicons explained that it was just a ruse, and that they would turn the tower over to him when it was complete. They did, but the structure was subsequently ruined in a battle between Devastator and an attacking force of Autobots. {{storylink|The Master Builders}} A few Constructicons, including Hook, came with Megatron as he searched for their [[Nemesis (G1)|crashed spaceship]] in the jungles of South America. When they found it, Hook let Megatron borrow his [[cyberforceps]] so that he could cut loose the ship's powersource, the [[Heart of Cybertron]]. Hook was subsequently ordered to install the Heart inside Megatron himself, which he did flawlessly. {{storylink|Microbots}}

Hook and the other Constructicons later participated in an all-out battle against the Autobot forces, but in the aftermath everyone but [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] lay damaged on the ground. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}} They were back in tip-top shape soon enough, which was good since all the other Decepticons were suffering from [[cybertonium]] depletion. Hook and the others took care of a shipment of cybertonium sent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but failed to stop the Dinobots from using the [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}}

Hook and the Constructicons later went into space to mine an asteroid. [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], who had a vendetta against them, followed them and very nearly defeated Devastator. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} After [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] incapacitated Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], the former promised to share leadership with the Constructicons if they helped build him a "zone defense"—a gigantic labyrinth outside his the football arena the [[Triple Changer]] had taken to be headquarters. Everyone but Scrapper ended up getting lost in their own maze, but eventually found their way back to Blitzwing and demanded their share of the bargain. When Blitzwing refused, they merged into Devastator and attacked him, but soon enough Megatron returned and defeated both of them.  {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] went against Megatron with his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], the Constructicons were called in against them, but Devastator was defeated quite utterly by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[Image:TFTM uncharismatic bore.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"Uncharismatic bore! That's right, I went there!"]]
Present at the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Hook helped to breach the Autobot defenses as part of Devastator, who withstood an Autobot attack. After a second attack by the Dinobots, Hook was not seen again until the confrontation on Astrotrain over who should lead the Decepticons after Megatron's defeat. He believed that [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] was an uncharismatic bore and that nobody would follow him. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] did not take kindly to his comments. Hook and the other Constructicons made it back to Cybertron to be present at Starscream's becoming the new [[Decepticon leader]]. After a fanfare and the death of Starscream at the hands (or cannon) of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Hook and his fellow surviving Decepticons joined in the hunt for the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

However, Galvatron was vanquished and the Decepticons were driven off Cybertron. Hook and Constructicons were forced to take refuge on [[Chaar]] alongside most other Decepticons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Eventually, the [[Quintesson]]s offered them energy in change for attacking a group of Autobots on [[Goo]], and the starved Decepticons happily agreed. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} When Galvatron returned and allied himself with the Quintessons, Hook and the Constructicons were tasked with building [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] out of a human city.  {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

[[Image:BurdenHardestBear Constructicons water.JPG|right|200px|thumb|"Shoot, Mixmaster, I dropped my goggles in the water.]]
The Constructicons proceeded to build a giant engine capable of moving an asteroid, but the asteroid was destroyed and instead they fell onto the planet of [[Eurythma]]. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} During the Decepticon assault on [[Paradron]], Hook and the Constructicons tried to kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], but failed. {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} They were briefly seen helping the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] attack [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] in the Sea of [[Japan]] {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}, followed by the Decepticon attack on Cybertron aiming to infiltrate the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====

Hook and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of [[Sixshot]]. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on [[Vector Sigma]]. Hook and his squad were ganging up on the [[Trainbot]]s until [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Devastator was involved in a combiner shootout on Cybertron until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] arrived and annihilated the Decepticon combiners. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Hook and the Constructicons were guarding the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]] on Earth, but failed miserably when [[Blaster (G1)|Twincast]] single-handedly fought them off and stole a ride on the bridge. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Hook was among those summoned, but only in the form of Devastator. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Hook is the green and purple one.]]
Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]].  Hook and the other Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online—construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truckstop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker [[Bomber Bill]], who, with the aid of the [[Autobot]]s, managed to destroy the tower Hook and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''Hook and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. Their attack was called off to regroup when [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] discovered Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head. {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}''

After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] retaking of Decepticon command, Hook and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defences around their headquarters located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern [[Wyoming]]. Devastator's services were again required when the Autobots staged a surprise attack, but they retreated once they had what they needed. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

''When [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] came back in time to 1986, he summarily dispatched Megatron and forced the Constructicons to help him in constructing a massive energy cannon which would be useful to him in the future. Despite working on his project, Hook and the others showed no other loyalty to Galvatron, and remained out of the fighting until the future Decepticons returned to their own time. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}''

During [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s command, an attack was ordered on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] while [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] dueled for leadership. Under cover of battle, Hook and the other Constructicons retrieved the remains of several fallen and captured Decepticons. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
With Soundwave in command, Hook joined a massive Decepticon offensive against the Autobot Earthbase. Their goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as Starscream looted a human oil tanker in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

{{note|First depicted rather late in the series, it is unknown whether Hook served Megatron or Shockwave before the coup merged the Decepticon factions.}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
''When the Decepticons were forced into a suicidal assault on [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] in 2008, Hook was among the many Decepticons seen in combat with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}''

====Generation 2====
Hook was seen onboard the [[Warworld]] among the Decepticons rallied by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Timelines'' Classics comics====
Both Hook and [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] were curiously absent from the Constructicons, with the enigmatic [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] in their place.  It's unclear why this was, but Hightower himself joked about stripping enough spare parts off of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to "build a new Hook." {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
{{notekeepers}}
Nine million years ago, Hook and the Constructicons were helping Megatron in his plot to turn Cybertron into a mobile juggernaut, raging throughout the universe. He defended the engine controls alongside [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] against Grimlock's commandoes, but eventually gave up and scattered before the big boom. {{storylink|The War Within}} Sometime later, he and the Constructicons were the first to break the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] during the Dark Ages, joining up with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and the [[Ultracon|Ultracons]] in their Devastator form, and doing battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] in the [[Tagan Heights]]. The resulting conflict devastated a large portion of Cybertron's biggest manufacturing area. {{storylink|War Within: The Dark Ages|The War Within: The Dark Ages}}

At some point after the initial launch of the ''Nemesis'', Hook and the Constructicons wound up on Earth during the 1980's and began working with Megatron and his faction of Decepticons on that planet. Unfortunately, they were eventually captured and detained during [[Operation: Liberation]] in 1998, when the united human and Autobot forces brought them down. Earth's triumph turned to tragedy in 1999, however, as the initial flight of the [[Ark II]] back to Cybertron exploded in mid-air, apparently destroying all the Transformers on board. When the Decepticons reawoke in 2002, Hook was part of the initial assault on [[San Francisco]] along with the rest of the Constructicons as Devastator. Despite their victory over the counterpart combiner, [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], the Constructicons were eventually brought low by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself. {{storylink|Prime Directive}}

''Soon revived by Starscream's good graces, Hook and the Constructicons loyally served under the former Decepticon lieutenant commander after Megatron disappeared off the face of the Earth. The "spin the bottle" leadership of the Constructicons apparently fell to Hook in these days, and he and his team began operating out of [[Las Vegas]], where Starscream had set up a base of operations called "New Centurion", after his home city-state on Cybertron. In defending New Centurion, Hook coordinated his dutiful minions Scrapper and Mixmaster against the invading forces of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and his Autobot comrades. The lofty Constructicon attempted to direct the battle from the air, but [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] managed to knock Hook out of the sky, physically grappling with him and pulling the surgeon down to the ground below. Then Grimlock stepped on his head. It hurt. A lot. {{storylink|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Hook and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Hook and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. {{storylink|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular robot mode, leaving him unable to split back into Hook and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in [[stasis lock]], drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. {{storylink|Fusion (novel)|Fusion}}''

The pieces of Hook and the Constructicons fell under the control of [[Earth Defense Command]], and were held in their Roswell facility for study. {{storylink|Generation One issue 0}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' continuity===
[[Image:DrMindbender-wishbone.jpg|right|thumb|225px|]]
The ruthless terrorist organization known as [[Cobra]] dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army.  However, with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened, and a very angry Hook crushed the Cobra machine he was carrying before moving onto the humans that had been controlling him. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3}} After capturing [[Doctor Mindbender]], Hook sorta felt like playing wishbone with the human, but opted for dropping him into Mixmaster's mixing drum instead. Unfortunately, he was robbed of this pleasure when Soundwave arrived and took the doctor to help him work the [[SPS Satellite]]. The Constructicons were subsequently ordered to defend the satellite's controls from the attacking Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4}} Hook and the others combined into Devastator to fight off the enemies, but the giant was overwhelmed and defeated relatively quickly. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5}}

===IDW comics continuity===
After the [[Senate]] cut back significantly on the need for sentient workers in the realm of manual labor, Hook and the Constructicons found themselves out of work. They found new employment, however, in the underground gladiator tournaments of [[Kaon]]. Instead of personally participating in the death sports, the Constructicons maintained the arena itself, creating a new stadium at random locations just hours before each match began, using nothing more than the raw materials at hand. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2}} As Megatron's plans moved from [[gladiatorial combat]] to [[Great War (G1)|insurrection]], Hook and the Constructicons turned their talents from arena building to weapon modifications. When the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] joined Megatron, Hook modified them to possess [[Null-ray|onboard weaponry]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}}

{{spoiler|The Iron Age|June 12}}

As the war began to sweep across Cybertron, Hook and the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. Four million years ago, Hook was working with [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and his Mini-Cassettes to run interference for an energon convoy bringing fresh supplies to Megatron's army. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

Millions of years later, Hook and his pals were eventually called to Earth, where they used their newly acquired combination ability to beat down the local Autobots. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7}} As the Decepticons moved on to [[New York City]], Hook was shocked to hear Scrapper declare that they were benevolent aliens who had come to preach to the humans about kindness and cooperation. He quickly got the joke, though, and shared a good laugh with Scrapper as they started killing fleshlings left and right. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1}} After mysteriously failing to recognise [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], whom he'd met yonks ago, Hook joined the other Constructicons in forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and attacking the city's tunnels. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2}} The primary task of the Constructicons, however, was to build an unknown structure in New York (cannibalising the local buildings to do so). Hook made the supreme sacrifice here of actually ''being'' in that filthy cramped hovel. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3}}

When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] decided to take leadership of the Decepticons, Hook and the other Constructicons sided with him. They combined into Devastator and attacked Megatron, but failed to kill him due to an attack by human jets. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10}} The jets were soon followed by a unit of Autobots, and Devastator met his match in [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11}} The battle ended with Devastator getting shot straight through the torso. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12}}

Hook survived the damage done to Devastator's chest, but was captured and deactivated by [[Skywatch]]. Two years after the battle in New York, Hook, Mixmaster and several other prisoners were retrieved from Skywatch by a group of Transformers attempting to get off the planet. The group's leader, the Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], assigned [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] to bring Hook's consciousness back. {{storylink|A Rude Awakening}} The Autobot was successful, and Hook joined Mixmaster and Scrapper in constructing a starship that was ostensibly for both the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|Seasons in Flight}}

{{spoiler|Earthworks|May 28}}

Of course, things didn't actually work out that way. Unable to convince Rodimus to let him reassemble the Constructicons, Swindle instead applied combiner technology to the [[Stunticon]]s, creating [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. Hook and the other Decepticons turned on the Autobots, and Hook was seen in battle against Optimus Prime. (Losing.) After Menasor was brought down, Swindle escaped from the Autobots and Skywatch along with some Constructicons, possibly including Hook.{{storylink|Earthworks}}

**''Accessories:''

: This European exclusive version of Hook was yellow, but with the darker purple from the original toy instead of the lighter ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' shade, and came with no Devastator parts. It also lacked the peg used to connect with Bonecrusher. This toy was not officially named, as he came on a card shared by the other Constructicons.

===Generation 2===
*'''Hook''' (Constructicon, 1993)
**''Team ID number:''
**''Accessories:''

==Trivia==
*[[Hasbro]] apparently lost the [[trademark]] to the name "Hook" some time ago, as it has not been used since 1993 despite several [[Constructicon (Universe)|Constructicon]]-[[Constructicon Devastator (Ultra)|homage]] [[Constructicon (G1)|teams]] appearing after that point. "[[Hightower (disambiguation)|Hightower]]" has become the new default crane-bot name.
